We made it to church for the first time since baby B was born. I hadn't wanted to go partly because of how hard it would have been to get all the kids ready, and how hard it would be in church with fussy B. But I mostly did not want to go because I was upset with the church. When someone in the church has a baby, they are supposed to receive meals for two weeks. I received one meal, about three weeks after he was born. No one called - not even the pastor. No one sent flowers. It took three weeks for them to put the announcement of his birth in the bulletin. I was so upset, I was thinking about changing churches. But then I thought of the hassle it would be going to different churches trying to find the right one. I didn't know what to do. My husband didn't seem as offended as me, but he's a guy, they aren't easily offended. Today I decided just to go back to the church for now. I shouldn't be keeping the kids out of church. I need to think of them, and do what is best for them - Taking them to church so they can go to Sunday school and play with their friends.
